WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT

TONGUES?

WHEN SOMEONE SPEAKS IN TONGUES PUBLICLY,THERE SHOULD BE AN INTERPRETATION.

1

1 CORINTHIANS 14: 27-28

27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, two-or at the most three-should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret.

1 CORINTHIANS 14: 27-28

28 If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.

1 CORINTHIANS 14:23

So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?

SPEAKING IN TONGUES STRENGTHENS THE PERSON SPEAKING NOT THE CHURCH.

2

1 CORINTHIANS 14:4-5

4 A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church.

1 CORINTHIANS 14:4-5

5 I wish you could all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you could all prophesy.

1 CORINTHIANS 14:4-5

For prophecy is greater than speaking in tongues, unless someone interprets what you are saying so that the whole church will be strengthened.

1 CORINTHIANS 14:18-19

18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

1 CORINTHIANS 14:18-19

19 But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.

NO

DO YOU HAVE TO SPEAK IN TONGUES TO BE FILLED WITH

THE SPIRIT?

BE FILLED WITH THE

SPIRIT

GALATIANS 5:16-17

16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

GALATIANS 5:16-17

17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature.

GALATIANS 5:16-17

They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.

EPHESIANS 5:15-18

15 So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.

EPHESIANS 5:15-18

17 Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.

EPHESIANS 5:15-18

18 Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.

WHEN YOU ARE DRUNK,

YOU ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE

GALATIANS 5:25

25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives.
